fix: Handle transposed flow cell format in Biacore Insight parser#1199
Merged
Conversation
… sheet
Files from newer Biacore Insight Evaluation software (v3.0.12+) use a
transposed layout where flow cell data appears as "Flow cell N" row
sections instead of a flat columnar table. The "Run name" attribute
within these sections falsely matched the run-detection predicate
`startswith("Run")`, causing a spurious "multiple runs" error.
Tighten the run-header regex to only match "Run \d+" and add logic to
transpose the new "Flow cell N" sections into the tabular format the
downstream code expects.

Summary
startswith("Run")was matching "Run name" attribute rows within flow cell sections — tightened to regexRun \d+$Context
Files with v3.0.12+ triggered:
The file actually contained a single run — the error was caused by "Run name" rows in the Properties sheet falsely matching the run-splitting logic.
